Steven,

You really need to go back to the FCC site and check your numbers again!

Upfront Payments = Maximum Eligibility

WNP = $80,431,637 (NOT $100M)
NextBand = $30,231,211 (NOT $50M)

Again, the key to the LMDS auction not being competitive and running out of steam so quickly was not enough bidding credits.

<<"At least in LA, WNP won the B-block license. I would have to check who won the other markets..." NextBand won them all.>>

Wrong. NextBand did not win them all... Mostly the B-block licenses... Why? You guessed it... NOT ENOUGH BIDDING CREDITS!!!
